'Lebaran' transportation

'Lebaran' transportation

From Bisnis Indonesia

The majority of Moslem people prefer to celebrate Idul Fitri (also popularly referred to as Lebaran) in their hometown in accordance with the traditional family gathering.

However, there is a catch. When time to travel approaches, we are often worried that we will not be able to get transportation home. We are therefore relieved to hear that a larger number of buses would be mobilized to transport Lebaran travelers throughout the archipelago.

Even so, we feel that present transportation facilities might not be enough to accommodate the bulge of Lebaran bus passengers, especially one week before the celebrations. We hope that the government can arrange more support transportation such as transportation for civil servants, for instance, which could be developed into a fleet.

A large number of civil servants are due for a long holiday before Lebaran. They would not be needing office transportation for the time being, which could be utilized to aid those in need.
